Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 147

Life seemed to be calm again.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the New Year is getting closer.

Luo Cheng's daily life is very regular. Every morning, he first visits Zhang Xutuo, and then learns riding and archery from him, and sometimes listens to Zhang Xutuo explaining the method of army battle formation and the situation in the Sui Army's Weifu .

Then have breakfast.

After breakfast, I went to the county government office to meet the county magistrate Zhang Yichen and discuss some official matters.After that, I went back to the County Wei Gongfang in the west wing of the county government office to check the daily affairs of households, second chambers of law, and third shift.

Have a working lunch at the county government office at noon.

In the afternoon, I went to the county barracks to supervise the training of the county soldiers, and occasionally took time to go to the blacksmith room of the old man in the camp to see the construction of the military system.Dad is also very busy now. During the day, he leads a group of Xiangyong County soldiers to make iron ordnance in the camp, and at night, he leads a group of bought slaves to make iron pots and sell them in his own blacksmith shop.

Everyday life is very fulfilling.

Under Zhang Xutuo's guidance, his riding and shooting skills and horse riding skills have also improved by leaps and bounds.

Another half month passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Xutuo called him over early in the morning.

"You have good talent, and you learn things quickly. Riding and archery is already a bit good now, and you have also learned the basics of Ma Chan. You will practice more in the future, and you will become stronger and stronger."

"It's all guided by the teacher."

Zhang Xutuo said, "The suppression of bandits in the mountains is almost finished, and I'm going back to the county town."

"Is the teacher leaving now?"

"Well, this matter has also come to an end, it's cold, and it's time to prepare for the New Year."

Luo Cheng was a little bit reluctant to hear that.

"I just received some bad news, so I called you over to tell you right away. The news came from Daxing. The officials did not pass my recommendation. They have elected a new county lieutenant. It is estimated that he will arrive in a while. appoint."

Hearing the news, Luo Cheng felt a little flustered.

Unwavering is false, after all, Zhang Xutuo first appointed him as Dai County Captain, and then personally recommended him.He also felt that he should be able to be awarded the county lieutenant for his achievements in suppressing bandits and capturing thieves.

But now, things still went wrong.

"Those people in the court don't know what they think, but officials who have meritorious service don't reward them, hey." Zhang Xutuo sighed in disappointment.

The new county lieutenant is about to take office, so naturally Luo Cheng, the acting county lieutenant, will not be able to be appointed as the county lieutenant.

And now that he has a ninth-rank official rank, it is naturally impossible for him to be the head of the third class.

"Even if you can't become a county lieutenant, you are still a captain. Or, as long as you want, you can go back to the county with me. When you arrive in the county, I can arrange for you to take up a military post in the county soldier. The military post should be relative. Easier."

Going back to the county with Zhang Xutuo, there is indeed a future. After all, Zhang Xutuo is his teacher now, and there is a second-in-command teacher in Qi County, so there is no need to worry.

But Luo Cheng thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head.

"Teacher, I still want to stay in Zhangqiu."

"Think about it, last time you rejected Zhang Yichen's promise, and now a new county lieutenant is coming to take your place, and the county magistrate and boss Bo of Zhangqiu City will definitely send new officials to come. Things could be very different from time to time.”

"Then I'm in the county barracks, and they can't control me."

The county barracks are of course under the jurisdiction of the county government, but at the same time the county barracks are also under the command of the county magistrate, and after all, this is part of the county army system, so it will still have a relatively independent status.

If you don't go to the county seat, consider a few points.

One is to go to the county city, at most he has served in the military in the county army, or maybe he is the captain of the county barracks.Staying in Zhangqiu, he could still lead the county barracks, and this battalion in Zhangqiu was still the team he had already brought out.

Besides, there are so many old brothers here, as well as his family.

Here are his roots.

"I asked Runpu to stay and assist you."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Just to remind you, the new county lieutenant is very young, but he has a lot of background. He is the grandson of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. He is 24 years old this year. Manman, I came to Zhangqiu this time, obviously to experience. You don't want to mess with him, it's not easy to mess with him. If you do, I won't be able to keep you."

Hearing that it was a dragon crossing the river, Luo Cheng was helpless.

Such a good family background, such a great talent, but he insisted on competing with him for the post of county lieutenant.

"Anyway, I'm back in the county, and it's impossible to pay attention to you all the time. You'd better keep a low profile and be a man. Don't get into conflict with that young master. This county captain Du is not some dude from the capital, so be careful. superior."

On the same day, Zhang Xutuo left Zhangqiu and left with a few battalions of county soldiers who were mopping up.

city ​​gate.

Du Ruhui, dressed in white, watched Zhang Xutuo bid farewell to Luo Cheng from a distance, and then led his army to leave.

"Zhang Xutuo has finally left!"

"Well, he's gone, and we can make our debut."

Du Ruhui has been in Zhangqiu for more than half a month, but he has not revealed his identity. He travels east and west every day, and even went down to the five townships of Zhangqiu. again.

Visited many places and recorded many texts.

The homework is almost done, just waiting for Zhang Xutuo to leave.

afternoon.

Zhangqiu County Yamen Gate.

More than ten riders arrived at the gate.

Several people got off their horses and walked into the yamen.

"Stop, who the hell!"

"Shangguan is here, get out of the way."

The guards of the yamen are young people from the strong class, Luo Cunxiao heard about it.

"Stop coming, report your identity!"

"The Shangguan is here, why don't you hurry up and greet him." The man still said condescendingly.

As soon as the fourth child heard it, he became angry.

"Dare to pretend in front of me, courting death. I order you to reveal your identity immediately, otherwise you will be arrested and killed for the crime of thieves. Brothers, copy guys, prepare to do it!"

The teenagers don't care whether they are promoted or not, they only recognize Luo Cunxiao and Luo Cheng.

When the fourth son roared, all the youths on duty at the gate of the yamen surrounded him with hooks and sickles.

Seeing this situation, the man finally didn't dare to push it too hard.

"I am the new county lieutenant, you must not be rude."

"Bullshit, Zhangqiu county captain is my fifth younger brother. Where did you come from? How dare you pretend to be like me?" Luo Cunxiao was about to draw out his horizontal knife and slash people.

"presumptuous!"

There was a scolding sound from behind.

Du Ruhui rode forward, surrounded by more than ten riders in front of him and behind him.

"This official is the new Zhangqiu county lieutenant Du Ruhui, come here, let me take down this arrogant man!"

When Du Ruhui gave an order, more than ten riders around him immediately surrounded him to arrest him.

"Who dares!" The fourth child pulled out the horizontal knife with a choking sound.

"You said that you are the county magistrate or the county magistrate? I also said that I am the new county magistrate!" As he spoke, he suddenly realized that this kid was the guy who ate the king's meal at his house before, "Good boy, it turns out It's you, last time you came to my restaurant to eat Bawang's meal, and today you are even more daring, and dare to pretend to be an official!"

Du Ruhui showed his official seal, and then took out his own official to sue.

This report was issued by the Ministry of Officials, and it was the letter of appointment of the officials. It was stamped with the seal of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which stated in detail the appointment of the officials.

As soon as the report and official seal came to light, the fourth child also knew that he seemed to have really offended the new county lieutenant.

"Get it for me!" Du Ruhui waved.

The fourth child stared at the bull's eye, but finally dropped the horizontal knife in his hand, and was tied up by a group of Du family members.
